I passed mine yesterday!!!!
CONGRATS MARCELLA!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You got any advice what was on the ptcb??
Make sure you know your laws
Can you tell.... Is PEBC is very difficult to crack?
Did it have any Algebra questions?
The PTCB exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the PTCB exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mrs Virginia
Please does anyone know who this Mrs Virginia is? I
really need to speak with her I'm frustrated 🥺
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Virginia but I don't actually have her info
I'm taking my test in a couple months and this was super helpful !! I'm so nervous
THANK YOU!! Been waiting for this. 💕
you’re welcome ❤️❤️❤️
This video is very informative, Thank you so much for posting.
You're very welcome!
Excellent methodology for studying! ... 1) Saving the studying of chapters/sections that carry more weight on the test, so as to be fresher in your memory, 2) Your use of index/flash cards, 3) Writing things down actually is best imprinting memories into my mind, 4) Concentrating on things that you find difficult, and disregarding that which already know, 5) Refreshing your memory on critical formulas or conversions just prior to entering the exam room, so you can write them down for use during the exam, etc. etc. ... Brilliant!
Planning on taking mine in a few weeks, so nervous!
Taking the test in a couple of months, and this is super helpful !! Thank you !
good luck!! you’ll deff pass if u take it in a few months, just make it a priority to study atleast 1 hour daily
I love your ways! This is a good trick and tips for me. I'm looking forward to pass on my test.

You explained a lot. very well and gave really useful websites and honestly your notebook that you created is everything!! You put your heart into learning and studying and taking notes on things that matters. Thanks!!

No thank you!! I started going on that website and studying with some study music from TH-cam after watching your video ☕️📚💻
I passed my exam on first attempt. I followed your tips, the most important one which helped me in my exam.is flagging the questions, which i didnt knew before. That saved me a lot of time. Thanks so much for your videos.

Hey Nina! I also plan on taking the PTCE. Do you have to schedule a day to take it?
Very extensive information. Thank you.
Can you do a video explaining how to calculate albuterol solutions? Thanks
what exactly do you mean by that? like a day supply for albuterol ? I’m not the best at math, but i’m sure if you look up a video someone who is good at math will definitely have one uploaded
I wish i could have your notebook it’s so neat !
awww! i took a lot of time because i like my note book to be organized so if i wanna go back on any section i know exactly where to gogo!
i may do a giveaway for it once i reach 1,000 subs!! so stay tuned
Keana Conyers okay great !
Im taking mine in a month do you have any other free recourses I could possibly use to pass
Hello dear I m trying to open the ptcb link u share I was able to open it yesterday but today the page is gone I m not able to open it can u plz help me
hello keana ..actually i want to know about your studied ...so are you only read by that your given online resource (your description ) for your ptcb exam ?
As part of the application process for Walgreens, they require that I take a timed test in which I type in sig codes to represent that written on a Doctor's prescription. My question is about format. Through researching various lists of sig codes, I find that inconsistencies exist. Some abbreviations are capitalized, but others are not, and some use periods, but others do not. Is there a straight forward explanation? Is there a PTCB standard that Walgreens software would recognize? If so, I couldn't find one.
Is this in 1 of the phases of training, if so, do you remember what phase? I am beg. Phase 3 training. Thx
Do you use most of this info in the actual pharmacy? Liek do you have to do a lot of conversions, math, etc in the pharmacy?
What book is best for study to pass the exam?
Very good
Which edition of Mosby did you use?
Im trying to stop pressure you cant move forward with it
What is the exact book you used?
What is the name of the book you are referring to?
Hello thanks so very much for your video and great tips. Was wondering how many math problems you had out of the 90 & what areas of math problems would you recommend I focus on. Metric conversions are a given to master. But how about flow rate, alligation, solution & commercial marketing type math? Thanks again very much
honestly I don't remember off the top of my head, I don't remember having TOO many math problems, Id say maybe 10? I flagged mostly math problems so maybe up to 15..I would know a little bit of everything if possible
Thank you Keana for at least putting me at ease & again for the stellar study guideline you created. Hope all is well with you & the little one! Thanks again for all your hard work & wonderful videos ❤️💕❤️💕❤️
What textbook did u use to study?
What is the name of the book
I’m just studying to take the exam, but you didn’t have to go to school to take the exam ? I’m wondering how to register
were you go to get your cer
For the math part, can you post math problems or links that helped you pass? please lol
i’m sorry i’m just now seeing this, all the links are in the description!
Thank you so much, you’re so pretty.
you’re welcome and thank you!
i work for cvs health as well did you get the study materials shown in this book from your online portal or just google search?? my test is next week
hi!! good luck on your test❤️ i did all the studying on my own, i did not use their portal
Can you please list out the books you purchased to study- thank you!
yes! i actually will be posting a video tonight or tomorrow with a bunch of study materials! stay tuned :)
I'm taking the PTCB IN 2 Months and I don't know where to star should I start with the medication or what. I hope you can answer my question thank you
hi!! it’s a lot that’s how i felt as well. i would start with top 200 drugs and make flash cards and just do those daily. i would also get the book if you can! i will be posting a video within the next few days awnsering FAQ’s regarding PTCB!
What book did you use?
During the big test. Could u take those flash cards with u to the test.
no you can not! you can’t have anything with you
Hi thank you so much for your Video.
How can I can get the 100 drugs??
hi of course!! you can lol up there too 100 drugs online!
Did it have much Algebra?
Where do u get the inf for med interactions
Estefani Amaya i got them from inside my book that i used to study, first or second chapter i believe!
so if i want to be a pharmacy technician i need to take this ptcb exam
Mine is coming up and im stressed cause i bearly know 10 drugs off the top of my head, its in 3 weeks, i have my practice one today too
What book did you take tour notes from ?i have the missy review 2nd edition , is that just as good?
i used the mosbys book, i’ve never heard of that one but i’m sure if you look it up you’d be able to find out if it’s a good book to use
I meant to say Mosby 2nd edition , it that just as good ?
For ur flash cards what information did u get it from
online, or in the book!
where did u get the medication names
look them up online! top 200 drugs
So I just took my exam & im so upset bc I have to wait THREE WEEKS to know if I pass but yet the “preliminary results” say I passed an there saying it’s not final😭
omg!! girl!!!! you passed!!!! the only time that would change is if they found out u cheated!! congrats!!!!!!
@@KeanaConyers Exactly Keana🤣 Once u get that strip of paper and it says PASS u definitely passed. I failed the first time and I am trying to muster the courage to pass this time but I know I definitely will. All the best Breanna😊 CONGRATS 🎈🎉🍾🎊
Hello please respond if you can, so I just passed my PTCB, but how do I apply to get my certification now? Through the PTCB website or my state pharmacy website? I’m in Texas so let me know if possible! Thanks!!
Logan Heath you will get it in an email in a few weeks with an option to download it as PDF or to print it!! congratulations!!!
I’m also in Texas and doing my research on PTCB I just discovered this and really interested I hope it goes easy on me😭
Did you take the new 2020 version of the exam? They've condensed the guidelines significantly.
i took 2019 exam
How did you download the book online? The website shared below in a different comment went to a place where I could click on the individual chapters, but I couldn’t find the answers to the pretext, so I wanted to see if there was a better way to view the book?
i’m not too sure honestly... someone gave me the PDF to download the book online. i’m not sure about purchasing it online though
Thanks for all the valuable information. I have a question regarding the difference between being hired as a pharm tech or trainee. Will retail pharmacies hire me as a trainee without taking the exam yet? How do I get my trainee license if it's different.
I work in a retail pharmacy and don't have the certification and I'm just starting to study in order to take the test lol
@@MariselaFlores which state are you in? I think it varies state to state.
NY
Hi! Yes i was counted as a trainee until i had my PTCB, but you are still a technician. I don’t think there is such thing as a trainee license. it usually just means your training in the pharmacy
Due to covid who else took their ptcb online?
Although your watched.
Did you take the exam alone or there are other students who are going to take to you with? Thank you
Mines tomorrow.... Morning
how did you do?! i wish u the best❤️
Great information!!! but what book did you study from?
thank you! mosbys!
@@KeanaConyers there are quite a few different books by Mosby's, would you mind sharing the specific books you've used? The resources you've shared are so useful! Thanks in advance!
Where did u get those sig codes?
I got mine from my job, they gave them too me
I’m scheduled for my exam
I hope and pray I will pass too
good luck bernie! i’ll be praying for you too
Hiii
Do i have to enroll in college to take the test or have work experience as a pharmacy tech? What are the new requirements 2021?
you either have to take a program accredited by the ASHP or get a work experience for certain hours to be eligible to take it
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@adnasstudy2588 500 hours I believe. I currently enrolled in a course and my teacher told us 500.
What was the link for pharmacy law?
links are in description
Not saying you were bad, this is a very good video, but it makes me feel sick to my stomach because I feel so unprepared. I haven't taken a test since 2010 and then it was in college and my professors were the ones making the test so I had a better idea of what to study. This? It's like, here's a bunch of info good luck! Scary.
awww!! try not to over think it, i felt the same way especially when i started studying for everything but i found myself stressing more about how much info i needed to know instead of using the time to study! just go over the blueprint for the test and start studying that way. also if you study the things that are easier to you and save the hardest stuff for last so it’ll be fresh on your brain! good luck and let me know if i can help in any way
What is generic and brand, specifically? 😅 I feel like these terms are more familiar to people working under a pharmacy.
hi! i’m sorry. it’s just different manufacturers. brand is usually more expensive. think of it like a brand designer bag vs a bag that’s not the same designer brand but still looks the same/ acts the same. i have a PTCB study guide on etsy with all the information if your interested, link is in description box!
just took my ptcb an hour ago and it said preliminary result: pass. im just nervous that it would change or anything lol. I was so shocked before there was a handful I knew that there was a good number of them I had to come back to until the answer hit me or I had to make an educated guess. it definitely was a stressful experience lol
You passed!!!!! Congratulations!!!! It said the same for my friend and the administration said it means you past
Congrats girly👍 How was the math problems? How many and what kinds? Thanks so much
TH-camr1 TH-camr1 it really depends. it was a good number of math problems but not a lot. 40% of the exam is medications and everything that has to do with them alone. Make sure you know your measurement conversions and everything
@@malikahbey Thanks so much for your reply makes me feel a bit more confident. Those solution and alligation problems are the worst and time consuming. Thank you thank you for your advice! Be blessed
you deff passed!! CONGRATS! BE PROUD!! :) its like a weight lifted off your shoulders
where did you find a current list of the top 200 drugs?
if you just look up top 200 drugs, also on quizlet and i had a paper from my job when i was training!
Keana Conyers thank you!
What website did you get the information about pharmacy law?
i linked the websites in description!
I take mine 1/13/22. How many questions can you miss and still pass? I googled it and it sounds like u can only miss 10
good luck! i have a code with mometrix university so it’ll be 25% off of 80$ it ends up being around $60 and it has 3 practice tests, flash cards, and if you don’t like it you’ll get money back guaranteed within 7 days. more info is in my description if your interested! and if i’m remembering correctly it’s not about how many you can miss because different questions are worth more points than others
U r from America or Canada where u passed this exam?
america!
No adverse effects or indications ?
Plz post the website, the one u mentioned pic for the drugs.
Very helpful video appreciate
hi it’s in the description box below!
do you take the exam at home or do you go somewhere? can you take it whenever you feel like it/ are ready or are you given a date. ughhh!
with covid it may have changed but when i took mine it was at a building
Hi Keana can you email me all your notes? I’m planning to give PTCB exam
Where is the link
hi all links should be in description box
How did you get to work for a pharmacy without being license?
anyone can apply! u just need a high school diploma and you get the state license once ur hired
@@KeanaConyers I had my certificate 02/02 graduate fail exam for State exam 2x never went back studying now to fulfill my voyage in my life two things fear & procrastinating 😬😬😬
Hello I passed my exam Last week. How long did it take you to get your certificate or results. I took mine on the 21st of May. Will it be uploaded on your ptcb account ? Will the certificate be mailed to be and will my results & certificate be up for me to print on the ptcb portal.
Hi Yemi! it took me about 2 weeks to get my official report and all that stuff, i got an email from ptcb that told me i passed and then there’s a link where u can print certificate and all that stuff and see your exact results! so it’ll be on PTCB! congratulations by the way 🥳
Keana Conyers thank you !
@@yemimolususi9040 did you ever get your results back? how long did it take? I took mines a week ago and still no results
malikah bey Yes it came like 2nd week and I was able to print my certificate vita PTCB & TSBP
Yemi Olususi i was looking and they said for the people who took their exam on and before july 12, the results were available on the 20th 😭 I’m just impatient because I already started applying for jobs and I need my official certification so they can verify my ptcb. I know it’s anywhere between 1-3 weeks after your exam date
I took my exam on Friday and I passed! I am just so nervous that my official results will change 😭
congrats!!! did u take it online?? how hard was it
zel xo thank you! Yes I took it online using the at home version! And it really wasn’t to bad there were a few questions that got me but it wasn’t as hard as I thought 😊 I got my official results and I officially passed!
How did u get your results?? I’m literally freaking out
I took mine at home on Saturday & the “preliminary” said I passed but now there saying I have to wait for the results😔😢 how long did it take
Breanna Hudson don’t freak out girl! YOU PASSED! all they are doing now is watching your video to make sure you didn’t cheat, since you did it at home with a live person watching you while you were taking your test if there was a issue they would have chatted you during the test!😊 you passed! And my results came in, in a week! I got the results through my email from ptcb!
Hello!! Did you use a book? Or did you get all of your notes online
hi! i used info from online mostly. i did download a book as well. in my most recent video i have a program that i think would really benefit people! the way it’s set up and organized and all the information you need is included and also includes 4 practice PTCB tests!
ref.mometrix.com/1056.htm
Hi
I checked the Website for the test PTCB TEST and it said I need 500 hours on training or graduate from a certified school?
It's really required?
They changed the rules at the start of 2020 that those are required. Taking the class really helps you learn the material though! I just graduated from mine and I am currently waiting to get my diploma to sign up to take the exam.
emily said it perfect!
I didn’t see this on the website?
Do they give you calculators?
yes they do!
Do you think Top 100 PTCB Facts! is good to study?
Top 20 Drug Interactions for PTCB
yes i’m sure anything affiliated with my PTCB itself is great
website please? Most useful
i put down in the description box all the ones i liked most
I still can't get over how impossibly absurd it is to try to memorize 200 brand and generic drug names. Also what the hell is the point of this?!?!? This is 2020 not 1970 we can look all these names up on something called computers in 3 seconds. The laws, calculations and other things are easy but the drug names are going to kill me
i know!! i dwelled on that a lot too but try not too, try to know too 100 if 20 is too much for you, when working in the pharmacy it’s a little b it easier because brand and generic you know for most drugs that you use often!
Fr though
Do you have the notes on these three sections: 1.4* Strengths/dose, dosage forms, routes of administration, special handling and administration
instructions, and duration of drug therapy
1.5 Common and severe medication side effects, adverse effects, and allergies
1.6 Indications of medications and dietary supplements
let me check once i am home & i will get back to you!
@@KeanaConyers That'll be great if you can
hi sorry about the late response! for that section it was soooo big so i have a little bit on it, but honestly not too much. i just constantly reviewed their ones for the top 100 drugs for interactions and all of that
hi ..dhara.. did you took ptcb exam??
@@youtubes1546 hi ill be taking it soon, how about you?
I've been doing more studying and SIG codes are not universal. What's up with that? *frustration intensifies*
I found inconsistencies in capitalization and the use of periods. This is the best list that I found ... ( www.chartercollege.edu/news-hub/72-abbreviations-every-pharmacy-tech-needs-know ). Also, Wikipedia says capitalization and the use of periods is a matter of style, which I take to mean it is not relevant. It also advises writing out words, so as to avoid confusion, but I take that as instructions to Doctors who do hand-written prescriptions. Here is that link ... ( www.chartercollege.edu/news-hub/72-abbreviations-every-pharmacy-tech-needs-know ). This issue is important to me, because I am preparing to take a timed test where I am required to type sig codes when I am shown an on-screen prescriptions, which is required when applying to Walgreens.
Sorry, here is the Wikipedia link ... ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abbreviations_used_in_medical_prescriptions )
Can you just study and take the test instead of doing training?
not anymore, you used to be able to do that but they changed the rules last year!
Do u have to know math for this career😭 cuz ik none literally
yeah basic math you do. if you have a 5 mg tablet but it’s 2 tablets three times a day, what’s the daily dose? how many tablets would you need for a 30 day supply. it’s things like that’
